Conformation and Athleticism
Part 2, Page 2
Here are some pony breeds that possess the conformational traits shared by their full sized counter parts. (NOTE: you do not want a gaited pony for a hunter. Gaited ponies include those like Hackneys. They have an additional gait besides the walk, trot and canter. This can cause some difficulties for them in jumping.)
Welsh Pony and Cob
Pony of the Americas
Quarter Pony
Connemara
Various Pony Crosses
There is no one particular breed that
is best, although the Welsh and
POA are very popular in the United
States Pony Clubs. The Welsh is an old breed with generations of selection and use as a hunter. Although he POA is a relatively new breed by comparison, this pony was developed specifically for children.
Another thing to keep in mind is that each breed will have individuals within it that are bred for specific purposes. Some POAs, for example, look just like small Quarter Horses, they are often used for roping and games. You have to look for that special pony with a picture of the ideal hunter/jumper in mind.
Look for a 12 - 14 hand pony with great athletic ability, strong conformation, even temperament in your favorite color. Crosses include Welsh/Shetland, Welsh/Quarter Horse, POA, and Trakehner/Welsh, among others.
